What is your daily routine?

[IgnoredOne]

I'm an extremely disorganised person. I try to do too many things at the same time, often without finishing half of them. Nothing to be proud of. I'm jealous of your age and studying...

Organization is a learned skill. If you wish to start, begin by having just one routine to adhere to, no matter what. Use reminders - phone alarms are great because they will ping you, google calender can email/text you(which you can also synch with your phone) and adhere to them religiously. You can essentially 'train' your brain to self discipline.

Meek and myself possibly both were just a bit pre-trained since we grew up in what I understand as Chinese households where order is very much emphasized from youth. There's no reason why you can't learn the same.

IgnoredOne is right about this one, like always. I second google calendar. Even though I come from a Chinese family with much order, I forget things quite easily so google calendar is a life saver. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't follow your planned routine though, since things always change (you told me this yourself). Start simple and I'm sure you can become very organized after time.

 

[Peter Lorre]

I don't really have routines, unless you count 'forced' ones like classes, work, working out/football training, matches.

I don't particularly like routines as I'm quite spontaneous and impulsive, so I usually plan things on the go while rolling into things aswell. When yu don't plan too many things ahead, you can easily make time for new adventures or acquaintances! It does make my life somewhat chaotic and disorganised, but I love it that way

Well, generally get up before the sun, have a shower and a change o' clothes, after which I shuffle down to the bus stop to go to work. Followed by eight long hours and thoughts about how I am not getting paid enough for this. Afterwards, as I am freed from my obligation, I shuffle back to the bus stop and am homeward bound. By the time I get home, it's probably already six-ish, so that leaves me some four or so hours to work on my portfolio, web design gigs or just playing video games and watching movies. Oh, plus one meal. Afterwards, I get ready to hit the hay, possibly pop a sleeping pill and put on my sleep-phones and let the music lull me to sleep, for a momentary reprieve from thoughts about the inevitable tomorrow and the repetition of this cycle.

Weekends seem to be the only time I have time for myself and generaly dedicate them to R&R, physical training and when the situation requires, cleaning the house and washing dishes and clothes.

if its a work day:

get out of bed
shower
feed my cat
eat something (95% of the time its cereal)
drink coffee
play a video game or sit on the computer until i go to work
get home from work
feed cat again
eat something
watch a movie while on the computer in chat, might play a video game for a little while before that
after the movie is over listen to music for a little while, while on the net
lay down in bed and watch something episodic until i start dozing off

on days i have off from work its the same except i play video games pretty much all day during the time i am normally at work until about the time i would normally get home from work.

sleep

Throughout the day, I think about the same stuff I think of everyday.
Negative thoughts dominate. Wanting to find a new job is a positive thought in a sense, but it never hits me that way. It always hits me as "I have to get out of here", as if I'm thinking of escaping a prison or something. That's how I feel it. There's the thought of my living situation. Since 25 (now 30) my mother's been living with me, depending solely on me financially, not contributing jack dog doo to paying the bills/expenses, and showing NO signs of getting on her feet. I feel like this will remain a burden for me for many years to come. There's the thought of someone who has let me down. I am tired of thinking about it. What I've done to deserve this other than try to give her a piece of my heart (think a true friendship) is beyond me. There's the thought of wanting someone in my life that I can be a true friend AND exclusive romantic figure to. There are my thoughts about society, about the people around me. I am... sick of being here, quite frankly. And I'm not talking about the city.
